Member daisho2004 Posted July 27, 2010 Member Share Posted July 27, 2010 What is the difference between these 2 companies? They both have put out the same movie in less than 2 years. Did one company go out of business and the other took over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Fang Shih-yu Posted July 27, 2010 Member Share Posted July 27, 2010 ...the Funimation cover art compared to BCI's is crap.The reversible DVD sleeves BCI did are ornate! The one for Life Gamble (with the inside one replicating an original poster...all that pink) is one I'll treasure the rest of my days! At the very least, Funimation did include English dubs for the re-reissued LG and OatKFM, which improves on BCI's DVDs by this action! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member OldPangYau Posted July 27, 2010 Member Share Posted July 27, 2010 One term that puts BCI's OATKFM over Funimation: Blu-ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Fang Shih-yu Posted July 27, 2010 Member Share Posted July 27, 2010 BCI's Life Gamble had only the Mandarin dub with non-removable English subs, plus the "extras" of trailers and interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member tdb Posted August 4, 2010 Member Share Posted August 4, 2010 Okay I see Funimation Prod. is putting out some cool classic S.B. movies this is a legit company right? And has anyone ordered from them yet? If so how is there DVDs? For what it's worth, Funi is currently the largest anime company (distributor) in the States. They're owned (a subsidiary or something) of Navarre, I think. You could order from them, but they haven't got anything on their site you can't order from Amazon, etc... The quality of their discs is generally pretty good, though people have bitched (rightfully) on and off for years about some of the English subs for their anime. I know the English subs for 14 Amazons were substandard at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Silver Fox Posted August 4, 2010 Member Share Posted August 4, 2010 So far, I've got Hong Kong Godfather and Invincible Shaolin from Funimation, bare bones but transfers are very nice . I like the way they seem to be just rolling out the releases-on time and no fuss. I already have Opium and Life Gamble from BCI so I'm not gonna double dip on those. Just for sticking to their relese schedule i think they should be applauded as it seems alot of companies can't seem to get the basics done properly . I'd rather have the movie come out on it's release date than to have to wait months past the due date,and for what? A couple of mediocre special features? Just give me the movie with a nice widescreen transfer,in as many languages as possible with Eng subs and I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted August 4, 2010 Member Share Posted August 4, 2010 WIth how good the English dub sounds on Golden Arm, and how well written the subtitles are, it was worth the wait. But damn it was a long wait:sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member chen lung Posted August 4, 2010 Member Share Posted August 4, 2010 Both BCI titles had extras, whilst their 'Opium' DVD had the Cantonese soundtrack (unlike Funimation's Mandarin). Funimation did include the English dub for 'Life Gamble' (unlike BCI, to which I don't think they were provided with one by Celestial). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member vengeanceofhumanlanterns Posted August 4, 2010 Member Share Posted August 4, 2010 I was extremely disappointed with Funimations, Invincible Shaolin's english dub remaster. Terrible, terrible job right there. Entirely unecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Member Share Posted August 4, 2010 I don't know what site BCI titles are available to order from, DeepDiscount.com does carry Funimation's titles and DeepDiscount doesn't sell any boots or copies. I want to order some of the classic's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Silver Fox Posted August 5, 2010 Member Share Posted August 5, 2010 The 2 BCI shaw Bros title are out of print and probably getting scarce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
